33 North Oxford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 33 North Oxford Street in Fort Greene, owned by Nazrul Islam, has exhibited several concerning maintenance issues since 2018, with the most significant problems centered around building safety and maintenance compliance. The property, a 1899 Old Law Tenement, currently has multiple open violations related to bedbug report filing requirements, which have persisted annually from 2021 through 2024.

A cluster of serious violations from June 2019 concerning Apartment 2 indicated significant safety and habitability concerns, including problems with fire escape access, door closing mechanisms, smoke detector maintenance, and visible mold in the bathroom. The building has also experienced recurring utility-related issues, with three separate Housing Maintenance Code complaints in 2019 involving electrical lighting problems and a water leak.

The property has an active ECB violation from 2018 related to unauthorized curb cut/illegal parking, which carries a $500 penalty, and multiple other ECB violations from 2018 concerning unauthorized gas line work with associated penalties totaling $8,000. Additionally, there were several building safety-related violations in 2019 that have not been resolved, including issues with building numbering, front yard maintenance, and various safety requirements in Apartment 2. The building's recent history shows persistent failure to maintain proper documentation and compliance with basic safety requirements, particularly in the areas of pest management and building safety systems, though some more recent complaints, such as a 2025 work without permit complaint, resulted in no violations being warranted upon inspection.
